Paella catering across MK46
Almost any venue with a level, ventilated spot will do: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field. On the menu are vegetable paella, paella Valenciana and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re often booked for retirement and leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Around Olney
In Olney, that can mean a party near Two Brewers Public House, Church of Saints Peter and Paul and Olney Middle School, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Lavendon (2.2 miles north-east).
Catering events across MK46
Across MK46, we cook in 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Olney, Lavendon and Emberton to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Olney: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Olney Middle School, can book us as a food stall. Historic houses near Olney include Turvey Abbey (3.7 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Olney until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Dishes our guests love
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
How we price paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
